Sciatic is often described as a mild to severe pain in a leg. It is caused by the compression of one or more than the five sets of nerve roots in the lower back. Doctors sometimes call sciatica a radiculopathy.. It is a medical term used to describe the pain, numbness, tingling and weakness on arms and legs caused by a nerve root condition. If the problem is on the neck, it is called cervical radiculopathy. However, since sciatica affects the lower back, it is called lumbar radiculopathy.
The diagnosis is essential for treatment and it may include X-rays or MRI in addition to a neurological examination. Depending on the pain causes, there are many options to treat it.
Scoliosis is a side curvature on the normally straight vertical line of the spine. When a person with a normal spine is viewed from the side, there is usually a slight roundness in the upper back and there is a neglect of the backward slope in the lower back. When a person with a normal spine is viewed from the front or back, the spine looks straight. When a person with scoliosis is viewed from the front or back, the spine looks curved.
The diagnosis of scoliosis and its type is made by a careful orthopedic examination and an X-ray to evaluate the magnitude of the curve.
